OLED display device, mask, and method of manufacturing OLED display device
Distances between lines passing through the centroids of pixels in each of pixel rows are uniform. In each pair consisting of two adjacent pixel rows, each pixel of the first color in first pixel row of the pair of the two pixel rows is located at the center in the first direction between pixels of the first color adjacent to each other in a second pixel row of the pair of the two pixel rows. The shortest distance between perimeters of a first pixel and a second pixel of the same color which is closest to the first pixel in an adjacent pixel row is a distance between a point where a line connecting the centroid of the first pixel and the centroid of the second pixel intersects with opposed sides of the first pixel and the second pixel.
